KEY POINTS

  • Kanye West and Candice Swanepoel sparked dating rumors after they were spotted together at New York Fashion Week
  • They are "not involved romantically," a report says
  • The model is reportedly one of the rapper-turned-designer's "muses"

Kanye West is not dating Candice Swanepoel, but she is one of his "muses," according to a report.

West and Swanepoel sparked dating rumors after they were seen together during New York Fashion Week. However, their relationship is "more business than personal," Us Weekly reported.

"They are together for promotional stuff for his Yeezy line. They collaborate well together and bond over fashion," an unnamed source told the outlet. "Anything beyond a working relationship is not true. They are not involved romantically. She's another one of his muses."

The pair were spotted together at an event for West's Yeezy Gap sunglasses on Sept. 13.

The Victoria's Secret model, who rocked the accessory for the campaign, also shared on Instagram a photo of her and the "Donda" rapper behind blurred-out glass.

West reposted the photo, prompting some of his followers to question if something was going on between him and Swanepoel.

Swanepoel previously worked with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian on a Skims campaign that was released in April. She was joined by Heidi Klum, Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks and the Skims founder herself for the promotional shoot, Us Weekly noted.

West has been linked to several women since Kardashian filed for divorce from him in February 2021 following nearly seven years of marriage. He briefly dated Irina Shayk, Julia Fox and Chaney Jones.

Kardashian moved on with Pete Davidson, whom she met when she made her hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live" last year. They dated for nine months before calling it quits in August.

In February, West said he has "faith" that he and Kardashian will get "back together" in the future.

"I don't have beef with Kim. I love my family so stop that narrative. I'm not giving up on my family. I bought this coat for Kim before 'SNL,' I thought it was particularly special," he wrote on Instagram alongside a screenshot of a Daily Mail article showing the reality star out on a pre-Valentine's Day date with Davidson.

However, the following month, Kardashian was declared legally single amid their divorce. She also officially and legally dropped "West" from her last name.

She and West continue to co-parent their four children: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.

Earlier this month, West said on the "Alo Mind Full" podcast that Kardashian raises their kids "80% of the time."

"Even to this day, I'll still give Kim advice on things that could help because that's going to go to the kids," he shared.

He continued, "So what people saw when I was going back and forth is that I still have to be able to throw my version of what people would throw into the curriculum."
